An engineer configures a deployment to support: Cisco CMX licenses for at least 3000 APs 6000 wIPS licenses The Cisco vMSE appliance must be sized for this deployment. Which Cisco vMSE Release 8 option must the engineer deploy?

The selection of the Cisco vMSE appliance size is determined by the required scale of the deployment, specifically the number of Access Points (APs) for location services and wIPS. According to Cisco's official documentation for vMSE Release 8.0, the Standard vMSE profile supports up to 2,000 APs for location services and 5,000 APs for wIPS. The High-End vMSE profile supports up to 10,000 APs for both location and wIPS services. Since the deployment requires support for at least 3,000 APs and 6,000 wIPS licenses, the Standard profile is insufficient. Therefore, the High-End vMSE is the correct option to meet these scaling requirements.

A. Large vMSE: This is not an official profile name in the Cisco vMSE Release 8.0 documentation. The correct profiles are Low-End, Standard, and High-End.
B. Low-End vMSE: This profile supports a maximum of 1,000 APs for either location or wIPS services, which is significantly below the stated requirements.
C. Standard vMSE: This profile's capacity of 5,000 wIPS licenses is insufficient for the required 6,000. It also falls short of the 3,000 AP requirement for location services.

" Table 2-1 "Cisco vMSE Release 8.0 Virtual Appliance Requirements." This table explicitly states the AP and client limits for Low-End

Standard

and High-End vMSE profiles. The High-End profile is listed as supporting up to 10

000 APs for wIPS

which covers the 6

000 required.

confirming that only the High-End profile meets the question's requirements.
